Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Universal Media Downloader Download **video or audio from 1000+ sites** — including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter), Facebook, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Twitch and Reddit — in your chosen quality, or as an MP3 audio file. Just paste a URL, pick your quality, and get a **direct download link**. ### Features - ✅ **1000+ supported sites** — one Actor for everything - ✅ **Video (MP4)** or **audio-only (MP3)** extraction - ✅ Choose quality: **4K / 1080p / 720p / 480p / 360p** (with automatic fallback to the nearest available) - ✅ **Direct download link** for every result - ✅ Optional proxy & cookies for private or region-locked media - ✅ **Pay only for successful downloads** — failures are free ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `url` | string | ✅ | The media URL to download. | | `quality` | enum | — | `best`, `1080p`, `720p`, `480p`, `360p`, `worst`. Ignored when `audioOnly` is on. Falls back to the nearest available quality. | | `audioOnly` | boolean | — | If `true`, extracts the audio track and converts it to MP3. | | `platform` | enum | — | Optional source hint (`auto`, `youtube`, `tiktok`, …). The site is auto-detected from the URL, so this is just for labeling. | | `proxy` | proxy | — | Off by default. Enable only if a site blocks the direct request (e.g. 403 / captcha). | | `cookies` | string | — | Optional cookies in Netscape `cookies.txt` format, for private / age-restricted / login-required media. | | `maxFileSizeMB` | integer | — | Skip downloads larger than this (default `2048`). Set `0` to disable the limit. | #### Example input ```json { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ", "quality": "720p", "audioOnly": false } ```` ### Output Each run produces one dataset record with a ready-to-use **`downloadUrl`**: ```json { "title": "Never Gonna Give You Up", "platform": "Youtube", "quality": "720p", "audioOnly": false, "ext": "mp4", "fileSizeMB": 12.34, "duration": 213, "uploader": "Rick Astley", "downloadUrl": "https://.../sample.mp4", "sourceUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ", "success": true } ``` Click `downloadUrl` to download the file directly. ### Pricing (Pay-Per-Event) You are charged **only on a successful download**. Failed, private, geo-blocked, DRM-protected, or too-large requests cost **nothing**. | Event | Charged when | Price | |-------|--------------|-------| | Audio download | Audio-only MP3 succeeds | **$0.005** | | SD video | Video ≤ 480p succeeds | **$0.03** | | HD video | Video 720p–1080p succeeds | **$0.05** | | 4K / 2K video | Video above 1080p succeeds | **$0.10** | | Large file surcharge | Per whole GB of file size, **first GB free** | **+$0.03 / GB** | One main tier (audio / SD / HD / 4K) per run, plus the per-GB surcharge for files over 1 GB (first GB free, rounded down — e.g. a 2 GB file adds 1×, a 3 GB file adds 2×). **Examples:** a 3-minute MP3 = **$0.005**; a 720p video = **$0.05**; a 2 GB 4K video = $0.10 + $0.03 = **$0.13**; a 3 GB 4K video = $0.10 + $0.06 = **$0.16**. ### Notes - Private, deleted, geo-blocked or DRM-protected media cannot be downloaded — these fail with a clear, categorized error (`errorType`) and are **not charged**. - Downloads a **single** item per run; playlist URLs resolve to their first video. - **Bot-checks:** if a site returns a 403 / captcha, enable a **proxy** and/or supply **cookies**. # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): The full URL of the video or audio you want to download (e.g. a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X or Facebook link). ## `platform` (type: `string`): Optional. The source platform. yt-dlp auto-detects the site from the URL, so this is only used for labeling/validation. ## `quality` (type: `string`): Desired video quality. Ignored when 'Audio only' is enabled. Falls back to the nearest available quality. ## `audioOnly` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, extracts the audio track and converts it to MP3 instead of downloading the video. ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Optional. By default the download goes out as a normal direct request (no proxy). Enable a proxy only if a site blocks the direct request (e.g. 403 / captcha). Datacenter is cheap; switch to Residential only if Datacenter is also blocked. ## `cookies` (type: `string`): Optional. Paste cookies in Netscape/Mozilla cookies.txt format to download private, age-restricted or login-required media. Export with a browser extension like 'Get cookies.txt'. ## `maxFileSizeMB` (type: `integer`): Abort if the media is larger than this, to avoid huge downloads and storage costs. Set 0 to disable the limit. ## Actor input object example ```json { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ", "platform": "auto", "quality": "best", "audioOnly": false, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": false }, "maxFileSizeMB": 2048 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `downloads` (type: `string`): The downloaded media: metadata and a direct download link for each run. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
